Families are in for a treat this October in Orlando with a packed calendar of fun events to enjoy. Fall festivities are in full swing and we've scoured the Orlando area for the best events happening this month for families and kids.

Central Florida's theme parks are festively decorated, and guests can experience events such as Epcot's Food and Wine Festival, SeaWorld's Halloween Spooktacular, or Legoland's Brick or Treat. Set aside a weekend to navigate your way through one (or more) of the impressive Orlando area corn mazes, or snap some family photos at a local pumpkin patch.

Some of the best Halloween events are included here, but be sure to check out our full Halloween events guide and fun Fall Guide for all holiday happenings and ideas this month.
